Mits grins and gives the victory sign.
"V for victory! And bunny ears. Because bunny means victory!"
The last gobbie is tied up and awakened. "Whaddyawant! Lemmego! Grr!"
Violent rage quickly gives way to cowering and groveling when any amount of intimidation is applied. He spills his guts even if only two give him a disapproving glare. ( Rolled a 16 will save, but with anyone pitching in to impose disadvantage it becomes a 7. And don't worry about your character ever being forced to give up important info because of dice rolls. You RP your character the way you choose. It would be up to you to interpret dice roll outcomes in such a situation. Not that I expect them to ever be captured and interrogated. )
Summary:
The Cragmaw tribe of goblins has established a hideout
from which it can easily harass and plunder traffic moving
along the Triboar Trail or the path to Phandalin. The
Cragrnaw tribe is so named because each member of the
tribe sharpens its teeth so they appear fierce and jagged.
The leader of the Cragmaw bandits lairing here is a
bugbear named Klarg, who has orders from the chief of
the Cragmaws to plunder any poorly defended caravans or
travelers that come this way.
If the characters capture or charm any of the goblins here, the
goblins can be persuaded to divulge some useful information:
Fewer than twenty goblins currently dwell in the lair. "It takes all my fingers, but not all my toes to count them. I forget which toe I left off on."
Their leader is a bugbear named Klarg. He answers to King
Grol, chief of the Cragmaw tribe, who dwells in Cragmaw
Castle. [Certain death at this level IIRC.] (The goblins can provide basic directions to Cragmaw Castle Certain Death. It's about twenty miles northeast of the Cragmaw
hideout, in Neverwinter Wood.)
Klarg received a messenger goblin from King Grol a few
days ago. The messenger told him that someone named the
Black Spider was paying the Cragmaws to watch out for the
dwarf Gundren Rockseeker, capture him, and send him and
anything he was carrying back to King Grol. Klarg followed
his orders. Gundren was ambushed and taken along with his
personal effects, including a map.
The dwarf and his map were delivered to King Grol, as
instructed. The dwarf's human companion is being held in
the "eating cave"
Also, Cragmaw
Cave is about five miles northwest. (Using bold and italics to differentiate between level-appropriate Cragmaw
Cave and Certain Death Cragmaw
Castle because of how easy they are to confuse with one another.)
Not once does Mittens threaten bodily harm during the interrogation. Her threats involve non-violent things like public humiliation with a dunce cap.
